Venellope is also an enthusiastic dreamer who is forgiving and reluctant to hold grudges. She is also intelligent and crafty enough to come up with elaborate schemes, which makes her a threat to King Candy's criminal plan.

Why was Vanellope not allowed to race?

King Candy instructed Ralph not to let Vanellope race, as players would notice her glitching once she got onto the game's roster. This would make the game be considered out of order and unplugged. This would leave her unable to escape and be left inside the game to die.

Did Vanellope win the race?

Vanellope is about to win the race after she speeds and passes King Candy, but he rams into Vanellope's kart in a furious fit, leading to a war between Vanellope and Candy.
